16 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn about whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a complete entity without fractions or decimals. Decimal notation allows us to express numbers with a fraction or part of a whole. A decimal uses a point (.) to separate the whole number from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole number, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
